For  \nboarders, being in the boarding environment occurs alongside a  \nconvergence of psychosocial and physiological factors likely to impact  \nadolescent sleep. This paper comprises a review of the literature on  \nsleep and boarding students in the Australian context. We also  \npropose recommendations aligned with the scientific evidence base  \nthat can be used to promote healthy sleep in Australian boarding  \nschool students, focusing on staff training and sleep knowledge, daily  \nroutines, sleeping arrangements, and student mental health and  \nwellbeing. It must be noted that these recommendations should be  \nconsidered interim recommendations until further research is  \nperformed in the area. Further, we suggest the development of  \nstandardised practice guidelines, to ensure that student sleep is  \nsupported appropriately within the Australian boarding context.  \nIntroduction  \nAdolescence is a critical time for physical and mental development, with typical onset at approximately 10 – 12 years of age (Dahl et al., 2018; Ogden & Hagen, 2018). During this time, over 20,000 young Australians attend boarding school (Australian Boarding Schools Association, 2019) . Health and wellbeing over the lifespan are significantly influenced by positive (or negative) influences in adolescence (Olsson et al., 2013). As Australian boarding schools generally accept students aged eleven and older, it is key to understand any factors that may impact mental health and wellbeing within this context. One factor known to impact adolescent mental health, wellbeing, and development is sleep (Tarokh et al., 2016) . Insufficient sleep in adolescents is associated with poorer physical and mental health, academic outcomes, learning ability, memory, cognitive function, and emotion regulation (Tarokh et al., 2016) . Yet, it is largely unknown how boarding school attendance impacts adolescent sleep (e.g., sleep quality, duration, and timing). Thus, this review explores the ways in which the boarding environment  \nmay impact sleep, with a view to identifying practical strategies and tools for teachers and boarding staff to support the wellbeing, health and development of students who board.  \nCritically, we must note that, to date, there has been little literature ","cbCailT5GE0IlV4B","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailT5GE0IlV4B","pdf",242034,16,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Sleep in Adolescence\n## Biological regulation of sleep","[{\"question\":\"Why might boarding school attendance affect adolescents’ sleep?\",\"answer\":\"Boarders experience sleep in residential environments that can differ from home and involve interacting psychosocial and physiological factors.
